NDA003 - Reds And Blue "Son of The Stars"

5.0010.00

A kaleidoscope of post-rock and psychedelic pop, the debut releasefrom Reds and Blue is willfully unpredictable from start to finish. Withan all-star lineup that includes the mesmerizing vocalist/keyboardistEllen Bunch (Coins / ZZZZ), bassist Pete Croke, and percussionist Areif Sless-Kitain, this cross-sampling of Chicago talent has produced an infectious and mercurial record. Side A opens hauntingly: scuttling polyrhythms, reggae-infused bass lines, unlikely chord changes, and Bunch’s sinuous, submerged vocals. As this theme develops on following tracks, the surprising choice of delay laced horns, melodica, and hand crafted studio production alters thetone, suggesting Augustus Pablo dubbing out a Pit Er Pat tune. A moresinister vibe begins to creep in on the flipside. Shadows of Sabbathianproto-metal sweep across the sound, though the more psychedelic leaningsof the era still win out. With each spin of the record, another blissful nuance captures your attention. It’s an album that pleases early on, but really begins to imbed and impress with each passing listen.

* Each copy is uniquely hand stamped* Includes digital download with two tracks not on the LP (Boomerang, Nothing)

“The album is a perfect example of the consistently high-quality psychedelicpop that is coming out of Chicago right now.” ~ The Deli

“Chicago’s Reds and Blue are a female-fronted band that’s down with thepsych-rock-prog. They play dissonant, druggy melodies that would makeJanis J. look down in approval. This is hazy, spooky music.” ~ Oh MyRockness
